University of Leicester
Public research university for UK and international students
Diverse in our makeup and united in ambition – we pursue excellence in knowledge and learning to transform our community, our world and beyond. We are Citizens of Change.
It’s time for a strategy that’s a decade ahead of the rest to create another 100 years of lasting change. In our centenary year, we’re proud and excited to unveil a strategy that’s not designed to just exist in ink and gather dust, but to become the global transformation that every one of our Citizens wants to see.
Whilst others may take a strategy and read-it, file-it, and forgot-about-it, we’re wholly different. We are the university that turns words into action and action into change.
